Soo frickin stressed! Ok I need to vent.. I just got a new male chi/yorkie mix, cute as a button, pees everywhere, every 10 minutes, My older yorkie Marley is marking everywhere now even though shes a girl! I just made the appointment to get Marley spayed ( scared about that ) and Marley is now starting to hide under the couch even though she somewhat warmed up to Colt ( our new little guy ). We started letting Marley sleep with us and we think that is helping with everything. She is just acting like she never has been potty trained. I feel bad for leaving the little guy in his cage but its got everything he needs in it, bed, food, blanket, pee pad. I just feel like im in over my head now. I made the vet appointment for him this friday. ...sigh... He is such a sweet sweet boy but he is so playful, and Marley is more relaxed and likes to cuddle and lay with you. She lets him get near and then she bolts for it once he nips are her. He had her by the lip today and she didn't even yelp or bark, she just kept backing away trying to get loose. She is too sweet !! LoL She won't stick up for herself, poor thing. He takes everything from her, toys, treats you name it he punks her out of it. I started telling him no and giving it back to her and showering her with kisses. I think that might be working. I told my DH to not let Colt charge at her or take things from her. What else can I do? It's gotten to the point where I feel so bad for Marley that I have cried. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have been all over other YT forums trying to get advice. I have never had a puppy this small and its a whole new world to me. Now I know what all the other YTers were talking about when they get so frustrated with their furbabies. I was lucky with Marley, she was about 7 months and a doll baby. This guy is a little "sweet" ankle biter ( litterally ) lol
